A compact, heavy sans with softened corners and subtly irregular geometry that reads as intentionally hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are thick and confident, with gently bulging curves and slightly uneven joins that create a lively, non-uniform rhythm from letter to letter. Counters are relatively small but kept open enough for clarity, and many forms show mild asymmetry (notably in curves and diagonals) that adds character without turning into script. Numerals match the letters’ weight and roundness, with simple, blocky constructions and friendly curves.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that benefit from warmth and personality. It can also work well for kid-focused or playful editorial display, where its irregular rhythm adds charm more than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a jaunty, almost cut-paper personality. It feels approachable and a bit mischievous, lending energy to headlines while avoiding harshness through its rounded edges and buoyant curves.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, distinctive sans voice with a handcrafted edge—prioritizing character and impact over strict geometric consistency. Its softened corners and lively asymmetry suggest a goal of making bold display typography feel approachable and fun.
The alphabet shows noticeable shape variation across similar structures (for example, curved letters don’t share perfectly identical bowls), which reinforces a custom, display-oriented feel. The lowercase has a sturdy, compact presence, and the overall texture in text becomes bouncy and animated rather than strictly even.
